Home this past weekend, and here's the view from my mom's, looking across the valley at the Oquirrh mountains. You can Kennecott mine to the far left. One of these days I'm going to take a picture from the roof so I can get more of the valley. This is as much as I can get because of the neighbors homes across the street blocking much of the valley view.

I've written before about the beautiful roses of Capitol Hill and the possibility that they thrive in an environment where there's a lot of "hot air." We planted this climbing rose bush several years ago and this year has produced the most blooms so far. It's been raining off and on for over a week!
